Shalbourne is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, lying close to the border with Berkshire between Marlborough and Hungerford. Set within the North Wessex Downs AONB, it occupies rolling chalk downland with attractive stone and thatched cottages and a network of public footpaths popular with walkers.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, with mixed arable and equestrian activity, though the village also attracts commuters and those seeking a quieter rural life; the historic core includes a parish church and several listed buildings, and there is an active community centred on the village hall and seasonal events that reflect its long local history.
